If you have been a Sunday patron of the Middletown Library you need to read this will affect you.
A decision was made at Wednesday night’s meeting of the
Middletown Library Board to close the Library on Sundays between Memorial Day
and Labor Day, adding Sundays in June and the first week of September to the
usual Sunday closures in July and August.
The decision was made in response to higher than expected
costs related to packing and moving materials from the satellite branches and extending
operation of the branches from January 25 to March 1.

This is why a library is supposed to have reserves.
No, a library is supposed to have reserves so the Township Committee can use them to cover years of financial mismanagement. Gerry 'Finance-By-Osmosis' Scharfenberger is up for re-election. Return him to office and he will find a way to use non-reserve/surplus to cover municipal revenue shorfalls.
Good!
Good!
This is just the start by some misguided fools and tea-baggin' jackasses like, "Live with your means.." , at chipping away at the Library's staff and services until the library resembles a Republican home on tax assessment day!
The library has always lived within it's means, fool...Unfortunately, that is more than I can say about the Township, however...
I'm sure that there will be more cuts to come by the Mayor's "hatchet men"...aka, the new Library Board...
Live within your means, I just can't imagine what kind of cruel, cold-hearted, mean-spirited person you must be to cheer the loss of library services. I'm sorry you have such a narrow, poverty-stricken existence. I hope God shines his light on you and makes you a warmer, richer, kinder person.
Is that why they "accidentally" refused to comply with the Sunshine Law and advertise the meeting's agenda to the public, "Live within your means"...It seems that the TC is trying to use the LIBRARY as a slush fund and live within the Library's means, you moronic hypocrite.
"Following an inquiry by Patch, Board Attorney Armen McOmber acknowledged that notice of the special meeting held Tuesday did not comply with the Open Public Meetings Act, because the agenda of the special meeting was not included in the notice that ran in the Asbury Park Press on May 3, nor on the Library website prior to the meeting. "Notice was deficient," he said Wednesday. We're going to correct that going forward and make sure we comply with the Sunshine Law."
